Poker Players Want Jury Trial to Challenge Gambling Law
A group of poker players arrested for gambling in Mount Pleasant have asked for a jury trial in an effort to change the state's 200-year-old law which bans games of cards and dice. Of the 22 people arrested in April during a police raid on a poker game, 18 have asked for a jury trial.
No trial date has been set. Authorities say the house operated a high-stakes poker parlor that advertised games over the Internet. Police say players paid $20 to buy in to play with a percentage of proceeds going to the house.
